Community

Management commitment

"This [minority/women business development] is about business. This is about how to best serve our customers and meet shareholder expectations. This is about being a leader, be it in our industry, in the businesses that we operate, or in the community. This is not just a feel-good or goodwill program. This is about competing."

– Rich Templeton
Chairman, president and chief executive officer

"The community and the supply base within TI are critical to business success. Having close connections to both allows companies like TI to grow and compete better. Minority/women business development is a priority to us for these reasons. Without it, we cannot be successful."

– Rob Simpson
Vice president, Worldwide Procurement and Logistics
